How do I decide?

Looks like I will begin bcp in January and IVF will hopefully happen in feb. How did you decide which IVF package to chose? There is the Attain program which is 3 IVF's and possible money back or Attain with 2 ivf's with no money back or pay as you go. I've had one miscarriage and I have good AMH level and only slight PCOS so I would like to only pay for one IVF but I want to be realistic too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

We decided based on our RE's recommendation and our finances. We knew we wanted more than one try and ended up choosing two. Everything went on credit cards. My insurance covered nothing. Our RE didn't think we needed more than that. After nine failed IUI's and one failed IVF we finally succeeded on our last IVF. I am 35 weeks with twin girls due any time now! Good luck to you!

We had many failed clomid cycles, two failed IUIs, and dh had surgery for vericoceles, but we still felt confidant enough to put all our eggs in one basket and only paid for one ivf. I have pcos and my husband has low sperm count and morphology, but we were still successful on our first ivf. We now have 12 month old boy/girl twins! Good luck with your decisions and I hope you are successful on the first try!

I paid for just one thinking that I would have some frozen embryos for back up. We also didn't have the money for any of the other things bc I didn't want to go into debt (I had just enough money for one cycle saved up). Needless to say we found out my AMH level was low and we didn't get to freeze any but I am 21 weeks with a baby girl! I say do whatever is comfortable for you.... I know that's not much help but the thought of going into debt made me stress so I want with what we could afford at the time.

Do some research and look at your options for loans. I wanted to avoid credit cards bc of the high interest rates. See if you can find something with a lower interest rate. Do some shopping around to see what will work for you. What worked for my friends didn't work for me. To each their own.

I would only pay for one. After switching clinics 3 times and 8 rounds of fresh cycles I learned that of your doctor doesn't get it on the first try he isn't worth your money. We ended up going out if state but I would have saved about 60k of I would have gone to them after the first failed cycles with my other clinics. Good luck! Hopefully for you it just takes one try!

We did the two cycles with attain and are making monthly payments. We felt that we needed the security and lower stress if it did not work the first time. Lucky for us it did but I know many others that needed more than one try. We also lucked out and had eggs to freeze but we were told we were an exception to the norm. Talk to your doctor. Ours told us statistics across the board are 50% success with each try.
